DEDICATION OF MEMORIAL WING

The dedication of the Memorial Wing of the

Museum and Library Building of the Ohio State Archae-

ological and Historical Society, on April 6, 1926, the

anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the

World War, was an occasion long to be remembered by

those whose privilege it was to be in attendance.

In spite of the inclement weather, which made it

necessary to abandon the largest military parade wit-

nessed in Columbus since the close of the World War,

a representative assembly of interested citizens from

many sections of the state came to witness the cere-

monies and hear the addresses.

The building of the Society was filled to its capacity

and the speeches of the forenoon and the afternoon were

heard with tense interest. All the features of the dedi-

cation were rendered with a dignity and impressiveness

appropriate to the occasion.

The dedication occurred while this issue of the

QUARTERLY was passing through the press. The July

issue, which will be distributed before the first of that

month, will be devoted entirely to the dedicatory exer-

cises.
